Where

This bikepacking event covers 650 kilometers and more than 14,000 meters of ascent. You will pass the highest col at 2,495 meters (with a 1.,500 meter descent!) and after a few days you will ride the last section on a sand beach on the mediterranean coast.

Cat700 is a non technical MTB event, rather than gravel route, even though there are several pure gravel sections.

The organization provides the transfer to the starting point, a tracker to each cyclist, and a meal and showers at the finish point.

Cat700 is organized by Gravel Cycles (custom steel frames for gravel, travel and adventure located in Barcelona) and La Nova Fita (company specialized in trail running and orienteering races).
